Tue, 20 Jan 2015 15:14:33 +0000liztoigohttps://techtalkls.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/padlet/Another tool I really like that got some talk time at the ETC in December was Padlet. Padlet is a collaborative wall space. Teachers create a wall where students add post-it style notes all over the wall in real-time, meaning as soon as a student posts a note, anyone else on the wall can see it. The owner of the wall (the teacher) can also remove any notes if necessary. The background can be customized to lots of different themes to fit into your lesson. Padlet is a great tool for class discussions, student questions, brainstorming, and anything else you can think of. Students can use the wall in class, or from home to be used in class the next day or not.

For the primary teachers out there, a similar tool you may want to check out is Primary Wall. It’s similar to padlet, but has a younger look to it.

” A huge, short burst of radio waves tearing through space has been caught in real time for the first time ever—and it could help scientists work out where these mysterious cosmic bursts come from. Until now, we only knew of these bursts from historical data.

A team of scientists from Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, has identified the first ever fast radio burst, sometimes known as a blitzar, as it happened. These bursts last around one millisecond and give off as much energy as the sun does in a million years. Zing.”

” This blitzar’s origin is a mystery, but whatever caused it “must be huge, cataclysmic and up to 5.5 billion light years away,” according to researcher Emily Petroff when she spoke to New Scientist. It could be a flare from a giant magnetized neutron star, the collapse of an oversized neutron star, or something else altogether.”

Let me say this again in a different way that you might understand: Let’s say you’re a news organization and you’re covering a big NFL playoff game against the Seahawks and the Packers. You have pre-game pics of the team warming up, and then video interviews with crazy fans tailgating, and then you post pics and updates from the game live, and then finally you have the post-game interviews, pics and “fan reactions.” All of these things are posted in real time to you. But wait! You’re not thinking of the fans or your Facebook followers, because chances are, I’m not seeing your posts until hours later and totally out of order (if I see them at all).

So the next day when browsing through my Facebook feed, I’m seeing your yesterday posts all out of chronological whack, all mixed up with other “Suggested” or “Sponsored” posts. See below.

The other example comes from the fans (and I’m not here to piss off any fans, just telling you like it is). Say you’re at home or heck, you were lucky enough to go to the game. You’re posting shots of you watching the game or just bitching about the refs….again, if I’m even seeing your post, I’m either seeing it out of order and/or the next day. Hell, I might finally see a post you did earlier in the season. See below – the top one is from this Sunday, the post below it is from more than a week ago.

My point here is, if you, especially as a brand or news organization, are posting in real-time, we (your audience) aren’t following you on Facebook for that. That’s what we use Twitter for.

This is possibly the single-most and biggest mistake happening from brands that should know better. Am I giving up on Facebook? No. But I’m beginning to “Unlike” pages who continue to treat Facebook as it was a few years ago. Give me original/big picture content on Facebook and leave the real-time posts to Twitter.

Sun, 18 Jan 2015 01:48:33 +0000Kev Brockhttps://kbrocking.com/2015/01/17/bill-maher-calls-liberals-who-cry-freedom-of-speech-a-bunch-of-babies-and-i-agree/I’m not a big fan of Bill Maher of Real Time on HBO but this is a good speech and a good message! This guy is another one who has a lot of balls and not afraid to call out liberals. What he’s saying here is that he’s calling out the libtards hypocrisy about bullying.

I love what he said here:

“Liberals hate bullying, all right. But they’re not opposed to using it. When they casually throw out words like “bigot” and “racist,” it does cow people into avoiding this debate. And if you’re doing that, you don’t get to wear the #JeSuisCharlie button. The button you should wear says #JeSuisPartOfTheProblem. […] This may surprise you, but I am not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. However, if you’re one of the people with a website devoted to making him go away, you are part of the problem. And ironically, you’re not even a proper liberal because you don’t get free speech. You’re just a baby who can’t stand to live in a world where you hear things that upset you”

Bill has a pretty good point that liberals who claim to be against bullies in high school and bullies against gays and all that stuff when liberals are the ones doing all the bullying when they get disagreed with in their political views. Libtards do all the bullying toward conservatives for criticizing their precious Obama & Hillary. Libtards do all the bullying when they’re disagreed with on gay marriage and gun control.

So libtards cry “freedom of speech” when they’re called out on their bullshit??? HA! FUCK YOU!

I love it when people whine about their comments getting deleted on my blog and whine about me not letting them post anything. Then they cry “freedom of speech” when they won’t let me have any. They knock pretty much everything I say on my site. They won’t respect my opinions on Obama, gay marriage, all the Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown stuff, etc. I can go on. I usually get a lot of flak for my political views by libtards. It seems that libtards are allowed to have “freedom of speech” but conservatives like me get into a lot of trouble for our views. It’s bullshit though.

Are libtards really against bullying when the reality is that they are the bullies themselves? This is called liberal intolerance. Bill is right is that libtards calling conservatives “bigots” and “racists” is bullying. I get called that stuff by libtards all the time yet they claim to be against bullying in high school and bullying against gays. They are definitely not proper “liberals” even though they claim they are.

Liberals do get upset when they’re disagreed with absolutely. Bill Maher is getting my respect lately and I think I’m a new fan of his.

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:29:30 +0000oluseguntodayhttps://oluseguntoday.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/mainones-data-center-to-service-critical-infrastructure-in-west-africa/Nigeria‘s MainOne this week opened what it describes as the largest commercial, vendor-neutral data center in West Africa, the Tier III Lekki Data Centre, to address the growing demand for co-location, cloud and disaster recovery services for enterprises and governments in the region.

The 7 billion naira investment has a capacity for 600 racks, is designed to ITU 942 Standards and will be managed under a new subsidiary, MDX-I.

MainOne CEO Funke Opeke said in a YouTube message that the company built the data center to provide critical infrastructure for businesses and institutions across West Africa that are increasingly participating in the digital economy.

“We have provided the business model and expensive hardware and software solutions required to fully participate so they do not have to devote their hard-earned capital to building equivalent infrastructure but they can simply focus on solutions that drive their businesses,” said Opeke, a former executive at U.S. telecom giant Verizon.

The center’s tech specifications were designed by the Uptime Institute, according to MainOne’s head of capital projects, Gbenga Adegbiji. “It is an objective way of measuring the functionality and reliability of data infrastructure,” he said. “Now, we are building to Tier III classification and what that means is that for every sub-system or every system that you have, you actually have a back-up for that system which is real-time online.”

The center has access to the MainOne and other submarine cables for direct international connectivity and direct access via MainOne’s IP network to leading internet exchanges and major content providers worldwide.

“The availability of data centres is critical at this point in time because Africa, indeed Nigeria, is increasingly doing business online,” Opeke said. You look around us, you see everything from electronic payment, e-commerce, businesses that are engaging in and transacting with their partners online, educational institutions that are connecting with students online, government agencies that are serving the populace online.”

Nigeria’s Minister of Communications Technology, Omobola Johnson, said the launch of MDX-I data center is a notable accomplishment that complements initiatives required to further drive the realization of the country’s broadband plan.

“Availability of world class data centers in Nigeria is critical infrastructure required for the implementation of our broadband initiatives,” Johnson said in a press release. “The accomplishment by MainOne is indeed significant as it provides an outsourcing and cost effective model to further drive ICT adoption.”

Dr Johnson reiterated that ‘’Today a disproportionate amount of the data generated by our increasingly technology-dependent economy is stored outside of this country denying the local providers of data storage and business applications recovery service offerings of revenues and opportunities to scale up their service offerings. Too many of the websites that are visited daily and almost solely by Nigerians are hosted offshore. Even when we do make use of locally hosted websites; the critical switching of our Internet traffic is done by Internet exchanges outside of the country. This adds to the cost and response time when local users access these websites. It is therefore with great excitement that I am here today to witness the commissioning of Main One’s Tier III data centre. This data centre, representing an investment of $ 40 Million, is the largest of its kind in West Africa at 1,500 square meters and a 600-rack capacity. This data center also represents a significant addition of professionally designed, delivered and managed data hosting capacity that will improve the Internet services available to companies in Nigeria and the sub region.’’

He knows you wouldn’t give it to him even if he asked — which he won’t — because that’s not how TV works. Wilmore may be a respected political satirist, writer, producer, media critic, actor and a recurring contributor on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show — as the Daily Show’s “senior black correspondent” — but he’s not Stephen Colbert. And there’s no point in pretending he is.

Wilmore takes over as host of the new Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore in the time period vacated by the recently departed Colbert Report, starting Monday, on Comedy Central in the U.S. and the Comedy Network in Canada.

Wilmore’s focuses on the divisive issue of race in America — Wilmore himself is African-American, and grew up in a sprawling suburb of urban Los Angeles — but that’s not the only reason he can’t replicate the cultlike aura of Colbert.

Humour is subjective. Every late-night comedian has to establish his own identity, and that takes time. Some win over the audience, and some don’t. That’s just the nature of the game.

Wilmore may face a hopeless task when compared with Colbert — at least in the short term — but there is precedent for success. Another recurring player on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, John Oliver, has found success of a kind as host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the late-night comedy talk show which promises, as the ads say, “Breaking news on a weekly basis!”

Larry Wilmore

As with The Colbert Report, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore will air four times a week, directly after The Daily Show.

Wilmore knows that as long as he can make people laugh, he’ll be fine. Colbert did more than that, of course, but laughter is always a good start.

It’s no accident, for example, that The Nightly Show will begin on Martin Luther King Day.

“I had a dream that a brother needed to work on that day,” Wilmore said, deadpan. “So … yes, irony intended, completely.”

Wilmore said he was given the option of starting on the Monday or Tuesday, but when he learned The Daily Show would air Monday, it became a no-brainer.

“I thought, let’s just start the week off.”

The news is not always a laughing matter, of course, or even ripe for satire. The Nightly Show’s final live-air rehearsals coincided with breaking news of the Charlie Hebdo rampage in Paris.

Larry Wilmore

“I think we were all affected,” Wilmore said quietly. “We talked to Jon that day, and his whole office was numb from that. Not every topic is going to be a laugh-generating topic. You just have to judge which ones you’re going to highlight that day, and which are going to be more ripe for discussion later on when a new angle comes up that allows you to have more of a comic take. The timing of that is a bit scary but I’ll tell you, man, I give those guys in France a lot of credit. I mean, the type of courage it takes to do that. One of the guys had a bodyguard for a couple of years, right? So he knew how much his life was in danger. We can’t relate, I don’t think, in this country to the type of thing they’re facing. There are so many issues, though. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about running out of material on this show, as far as that’s concerned.

“My only opinion about that is that they’re starting to kill satirists just as a brother is about to launch his show. So …”

Titles are hard, Wilmore acknowledged. At one point, he considered calling it The Minority Report, but then learned the Fox network was working on a series remake of the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Minority Report.

He thought specifying it as The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore would work, but it was too long and awkward a title to fit on hats.

“Nightly, to me is kind of a sly joke. I’m just using my joke brain. If you’re watching The Daily Show, and it feels like it’s getting a little darker, you’re probably watching The Nightly Show.”

Each episode will begin with Wilmore weighing in on the news of the day, Stewart-like, followed by a panel discussion of those same events, much like satirist comedian Bill Maher’s early program Politically Incorrect.

“We’ll deconstruct the events of the day, and get into it. There’ll be a lot of surprising elements. It may be comic. It may be provocative. Who knows? It’ll go wherever it goes.”

And whatever happens will happen.

The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore premières Monday, Jan. 19, on Comedy Network

Thu, 15 Jan 2015 01:24:53 +0000Boetts Thoughtshttps://boettsthoughts.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/day-ten-apps-robots-and-interactives-for-the-future/Class took us through two fantastic Smithsonian’s today, beginning with the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). Dan Davis, the Manager of the Media Group gave us an inside look on a current application the museum is investing into, called StQry. The application is available for both android and apple, smartphones and tablets, allowing visitors to interact with NMAI outside garden environment. The garden invites the visitors to look beyond the gravel, plants and water features to learn more about ideas, beliefs and emotions American Indians hold in regards to our environment. Though the app the still finicky, the wireless weak and the Bluetooth receptors have short life spans, the app is extremely engaging, allowing the museum visitors to perform self guided tours making the outside as much of a museum as the inside of the museum. The app adapts location awareness as well in addressing how and when visitors will interact in specified areas or with specific objects. The fact that the app is audio based is nice because the visitor doesn’t have to focus on a screen but rather enjoy the scenery with an audio background. During our visit, Mr. Davis also provided us with the opportunity of drive and working their Beam, robot. The Beam system provides museum accessibility to those that may be restricted in coming to the physical museum space. The technology is a remote controlled robot with two cameras that are controlled by the individual off site while viewing the site in an engaging and real time way.

Our next Smithsonian museum was the Air & Space , where our class began in their newest exhibition space that addressed, EVA experiences. The exhibit begins by drawing visitors in with big scenes of space allowing them to get a back understanding of this experience. Vicki Portway, Head of Web & New Media and Sara Banks discussed how they struggled to come up with ideas in order to bring people into the subject matter of the exhibition because the reality is that so few people have been in space. So they created social media integration into the space by providing additional exhibit resources via the website. The rationale of including content in this way came for the results of surveys that showed people taking pictures and sharing them virtually but by doing so they were also sharing my content and information rather than personal (selfie) photography. By learning how there visitors were using the space they can leverage the visitors various methods of sharing.The Air & Space duo also had us perform a short activity to see how the new changes they plan to incorporate into the ‘Milestones of Flight’ exhibit space, would hold up for students our age and whether specific elements needed to be fixed. After a great discussion it was time to shuffle back to 1717 Mass, with Rachel, Nell and Phyllis we got back to campus in style by taking Uber!

The evening ended with 19 fantastic presentations of our Future objects. It was amazing to see what people thought of and I’m pretty sure that I want Meg’s halogram exhibit to become a reality!

The post comes from a reader of ‘The Art of Total War’ book, who received his copy early and decided to write a review of his purchase on the Total War Center site. Upon spotting the announcement, he posted his findings along with photographic evidence to the forum — all of which you can see for yourself via the link above.

I love the Total War series, as many do, and it sits among my ‘top strategy series’ of all time. I also love Games Workshop’s lore and universe. A pairing of the two should extraordinary.

Expect more on this as I find it.

Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:57:34 +0000Bert Farabaughhttps://blogs.rti.com/2015/01/14/connecting-your-dds-apps-to-web-services-using-javascript-and-node-js/One of the benefits of the Industrial Internet for manufacturers and OEM’s is the access to live data for more and more applications. This data availability enables performance analytics, more robust business metrics, predictive maintenance analysis and various other capabilities to be realized by end users and equipment manufactures alike. In the enterprise, Web Services dominate the typical access to data. On the manufacturing floor or in deployed systems, real-time data delivery is a requirement. DDS is one of the primary infrastructures used to share large amounts of data in very low latency delivery times.

Typical solutions for data analysis and visualization rely on protocol libraries and heavyweight client applications to receive / process the data. Today, in the enterprise, the distribution of these proprietary client applications is cumbersome and time consuming. This results in a reduction of the utilization an organization can get from available live data. Thus, there is a need to enable applications to leverage technologies that can be found on everyone’s desk. Just about every computer, tablet or handheld available today have browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and others. Through the use of standard web technologies like Javascript, JQuery, Node.js and Websockets, it is quite trivial to interface browser based user applications with live data. The problem, however, is how to connect live DDS data up inside these thin client browser based applications. As we know, access to DDS data requires the use of DDS libraries to interact with the DDS RTPS protocol.

To solve this problem, we have created a lightweight connector technology that enables DDS data to be accessed with Javascript, Node.js server side applications. This solution provides the ability to have a single server process interact bidirectionally with DDS data while serving up html pages that leverage standard WebSockets for communication to the server for data. Take a look at the following diagram showing how the Javascript connector enables the flow of data between DDS and browser based applications.

Taking this a step further, and now that there is an integration with Node.js, we have the ability to create useable object nodes in NodeRed. NodeRed is a visual programming environment for Node.js applications. This development environment, which itself runs on Node.js, can be used in any browser. NodeRed provides many building blocks for typical items used in Industrial Internet applications such as: WebSockets, HTTP, custom TCP, custom UDP, MQTT, custom function blocks, email, twitter, XMPP, and many others. As you can see in the following diagram we are using several of these blocks to subscribe to DDS data (Square, ShapeType) and publish data on MQTT, then with a separate flow, subscribe to the MQTT server and output the data to a debug window.

At RTI, we are constantly working on creating components that are useful and beneficial for your Industrial Internet applications. This latest solution gives a developer quick and easy access to live data in many different forms depending on their specific application requirements. The ability to present live data in a thin client browser based application provides a great deal of flexibility for creating and distributing applications to better leverage data that is already available in the system.

Information regarding NodeRed can be found at http://www.nodered.org. If you are are interested in connecting up your live data to backend enterprise applications and thin client browser based applications, please contact us via email or leave a comment in the comments section.

Four shipwrecked criminals, on a beach, with little to no gear, and each with their own set of abilities. This is Legend of Grimrock 2.Legend of Grimrock 2 is a strategy RPG game, throughout which, it is your objective to collect gear, fight off the monsters, and solve the puzzles of The Isle of Nex to try and find a way off.

Your goal is this: To get off the island. To do that you must find weapons and spells for your adventurers to equip. Travel around the island, fighting enemies that come from you at all sides, solving puzzles that will challenge your mind and your characters stamina, as with puzzles, comes enemies and traps. Collect gems stones, four of which can turn into one of four elemental stones, needed to progress to the end of the game. Eating food and a day and night cycle are also important, giving you even more to worry about.

One of the gems! Now how do I get over there?

The combat is different to most games. You play in first person, but you play as all four characters. Your team and enemies move in a grid system. Each square can contain up to 4 enemies, two in front and two in back. Similar, your team consists of two in front and two in back. Damage is dealt to the two team members that the attack is coming from. To survive and fight in this world, you need to strategize and plan your attacks and the placement of your team members in order to defend properly, or even attack properly.

A simple, gridbased, markable map is all you have to keep your wits about you as you traverse Nex.

Avoid the traps, survive the hunger and relentless attacks from your enemies, and you may just see this journey to its end. Survive the island and get off. Then try Iron Man mode, forcing you to draw your own maps, rather than having the in game map.
